In an increasingly competitive market, some countries are increasing the number of international students and others are declining. Canada is at present one of the biggest winners with a 16% increase from 2017 to 2018. France has declined 8.5 % from 2011-16. Tuition increases may undermine its goal of hosting half a million international students by 2017.
The largest enrollments are still in the U.S.A., U.K., and Australia but flat or declining numbers in the U.S.A. and U.K. are likely the result of increases in Canada, Germany, and elsewhere. The most recent report from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency indicates that the number of visas granted to international students dropped by 2.7 percent from March 2018 to March 2019 across all levels of education. The report that ICE numbers for international students dropped didn't address the now emerging reports by Chinese students and scholars that their visa processing was delayed.
